Bass Fishing Sweeping Method
Posted on Aug 18, 2010 under Fishing | 25 Comments
Join me on a little outing where I catch bass in a most unconventional way. I call it ‘Sweeping’ and in this episode of ‘Another Walk with Mike’ you’ll discover how exciting this method can be. I came up with the technique after having bass hit my buzz bait just as I was pulling it out of the water. Finally, after one such strike I pushed my pole back in the water and Bam! A method was born. Similiar to doodlesocking or jigger pole fishing, sweeping is best done from a kayak. Watch my video and see for yourself. It is as exciting as it can be. Also, enjoy my other wildlife walks and nature tour videos.

i know this method may catch fish, but it just doesnt seem sporty. i wouldnt be as proud catching a lb bass like this as i would in the conventional fishing method. theres no fight with the fish. its a neat method, but its not for me.

@mikecatadjuster Why cant you fish right now? Are you hurt?

@iluvhaters45 You’d be surprised how many times I’ve been blown up on after my bait has been in the vicinity repeatedly. It aggravates the bass. They look up and finally say, ;I know I can nail this bastard’. I’ve fished shore lines and gone back afterward with this method and succeeded where regular casting hasn’t.

y dont u just cast the hook over there i know ur just showing a method but its much easier

@airsoftgeek42 You are one lazy-ass git… You think sweeping a lure on the surface of water is too much work?! It makes cast and retrive seem like the hardest thing in the world!

This is locally called “jigger bobbing” or “jigger poling”. Mostly done with propeller type top water plugs. Cajuns have been doing it for generations down here in Louisiana. Kids around here do it with small Beetle spins for bluegill and goggle eye. Works very well. Nice vid.

August 18th, 2010 at 6:28 pm

August 18th, 2010 at 6:51 pm

August 18th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
@Ravena7xBrockavich You ar esupposes to set the hook downward and use heavy, heavy test line.
August 18th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
hahaha wow holy shit man i can’t believe this. if i would see you doing this on the lake i’d be the first to call you an idiot…this video is awesome though! never wouldve thought to do this…
August 18th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
how do u set the hook when ur that close to the bass ..or what if ur line pops from to much tension
August 18th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
